During late winter or early spring of 2020, the first of what will be a spin-off series based on characters and locations of the Inspector Thomas Sullivan Thriller series will be released. Written as novellas and priced accordingly, each book in the series is meant to provide a short, entertaining read while filling in the back history of prominent secondary characters.

The first release in the series is Friends in Low Places. This noir style work tells the story of Joe Maynard, the slightly eccentric owner of Joe’s, the unofficial office of both Sully and Father Nathan.

Future releases in the series will include Dolls, Dames, and Danger, a story of what happens when three somewhat naive young women head out for a night on the town. When the town is Capital City, it’s not always a good idea.

This story focuses on Sarah, Katrina (Sully’s adult daughter), Jennifer (Markeson’s beautiful cyborg), and a band of bounty hunters.

Other characters to be featured in the series in future releases include Father Nathan, Bagley, the reporter, and Sully himself.
